Chapter 235
In order to rectify the aftermath, while the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. struggled every day overtime, Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon and General Manager Tae-Hoon Kang were sitting in President Lee Mi-Yeon's office with nervous faces.
“Hmm... so... did the Crisis Management Response Team finally conclude that it would be better not to do the event I planned?”
A crisis management and response team based on a plan by the president.
It was something he couldn't do unless he had a fair bit of knack, so in response to her barbed question, Manager Kang Tae-hun stinged, but soon said in a stern voice.
“We all discussed and discussed the event planned by the president in depth.... Considering the recent main scenario, it was our team's idea that a more indiscriminate scuffle would have more side effects. ”
Kang Tae-hoon, the general manager of the company, spoke as pure as possible because he couldn't speak frankly in front of the company's CEO, Lee Mi-yeon, and not other people. However, in reality, the thoughts of Arcadia employees looking at this event were so negative that it was hard to dare to speak.
[Who the hell is this bastard who created this kind of event as a plan?]
[Hee hee! Bamboo spear! consumer! Complaints!]
[Even if it's the boss... is this over the line?]
[If you really push this, all the employees would declare a strike, right?]
Not only the crisis management response team, but all departments are serious, fighting, and fiercely. President Lee Mi-yeon's plan rejected. That's why Myeong-han Kwon, executive director, spoke carefully to President Mi-yeon Lee.
“I am not opposed to holding the Jukchang Daejeon again. However, it is also true that there are many people who are cautious about the situation that occurred due to the failure of event planning in the past. In the case of Korean users, as well as in the case of Japanese users, antipathy to Jukchang Daejeon is very great. Perhaps if we do an event similar to that time again, there is a high chance that it will cause a big backlash.”
“That's right. In the case of the Japanese continent, it is thought that the bamboo spear caused enormous damage and loss by being caught up in the ridiculous situation of dragon hunting. Considering the global public opinion, there will be great dissatisfaction if this event is held only in Korea this time.”
Their argument was powerful as they joined the support fire of General Manager Kang Tae-Hoon. Then, CEO Lee Mi-yeon nodded her head with a strange expression, not sure if those who refused her project were dissatisfied or understood.
“So... is this plan that you brought as an alternative?”
“That's right. Reflecting the president’s opinion as much as possible, we tried to remove as many controversial points as possible.”
“Um.....”
An event plan created by the entire crisis management team, including General Manager Kang Tae-hun, putting their souls together. President Lee Mi-yeon, who looked at it as critically as possible and looked at the extension plan, said to the two people with a tense face.
“It's good.”
“yes....?”
“Am I really?”
Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon and General Manager Tae-Hoon Kang ask with a surprised face at her unexpected positive response. President Lee Mi-yeon, as if not caring about the reaction of the two, put the report they brought on the desk and tapped it with her finger.
“It is regrettable that bamboo spears are completely eliminated, but I like the fact that users’ competitiveness is rather maximized. In particular, I like the idea of using event maps like Fantastic Island like last time. This time... let's use the theme park created by Mizuni to hold it?”
“yes. It is said that they are implementing the largest theme park in history in collaboration with the US branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. It's not yet in the final stage, but I think it's not bad to show off what you've made so far to the public. There was also a positive opinion from Mizuni.”
Mizuni, one of the conglomerates showing the most active attitude in the virtual reality industry.
As if the nickname “dinosaur” in the entertainment business is not a lie, Mizuni is investing in virtual reality based on its enormous capital. From the publicity effect of showcasing the first work of those who are making it with all their heart, to the reduction of work required to implement special maps for the event. President Lee Mi-yeon said with a satisfied smile at his plan to catch two rabbits at once.
“It's clever, but... I have to admit it's a brilliant idea, though.”
“That means...”
“Yes. As I mentioned before, Jukchang Daejeon is a matter of concern for many side effects and antipathy, so I personally feel sorry for it, but I will put it on hold. As our company's second official event, let's go with the ‘World's First Fighting Championship' planned by the Crisis Management Response Team.”
President Lee Mi-yeon will give up the bamboo spear she planned. At her words, general manager Kang Tae-hun and executive director Kwon Myeong-han's faces glowed as if they had accomplished it.
“I see! We will do our best to prepare!”
Director Kang Tae-hun, who had a smile on his face as if he couldn't hold back his joy that he had solved the biggest problem. However, he had no choice but to harden his face at the words of CEO Lee Mi-yeon.
“Let’s make the scale bigger than it is now.”
“yes....? What do you mean by that...”
Director Kang Tae-hoon looks at her with a puzzled expression as if he doesn't understand. But looking at him like that, President Lee Mi-yeon said with a bright smile.
“This kind of fun event cannot be held only in the Korean branch. Let’s proceed as an integrated event targeting all continents.”
“yes....?”
General Manager Kang Tae-hun freezes with a white face. In response to his question, President Lee Mi-yeon checked the time on her watch and muttered with a smile.
“Anyway, ‘that moment' will come soon.”
* * *
A distant past that could not even be recorded in history.
The great war between demons and angels that took place on the continent of Arcadia was the Great War of the Holy Demons.
This fierce war, in which not only the lords of the celestial world and the demon world were put in, but also the absolute divine gods representing each realm, wiped out most of the life that flourished in Arcadia to a level close to extinction, and even the world tree, the mother of all things that supports the continent. made me fall asleep
after that.
Arcadia is divided into 8 continents.
The World Tree, which fought endlessly against the power of corruption in eternal sleep with all powers and divinities sealed, was slowly but gradually losing its power and collapsing.
But...
[Stop resisting and quietly die, you bastard bastard.]
The World Tree was accidentally liberated in an unexpected opportunity.
And she made an absurd request, driven by the enormous karma she felt from the mysterious being who had freed her.
[Please bring me some dragon hearts. At least, it's an ancient dragon level.]
The strongest in Arcadia and a transcendental dragon who was granted that power directly by his father.
He was a being of a very high rank that even a mediocre human could not compete with, but he was different.
[Did you die with a single bamboo spear?]
I don't understand exactly, but a human who really killed an old dragon-level dragon single-handedly and brought back its heart. Thanks to that, the World Tree was regaining its strength at an unexpected speed.
Woo woo woo.
Deep in the continent, unknown to anyone.
The continent is so gigantic that you can't even imagine its scale... No, her roots stretch out toward the entire world.
Apparently, the roots, which had been dead with their vitality completely lost until now, were pulsating vigorously like a beating heart and emitting their vitality strongly.
Koo Goo Goo Palace.
A huge and powerful vibration that no one can perceive.
Based on the mana and life force in Cervenian's heart, which had been accumulated at a near-infinite level, the World Tree began to completely restore the lost control over his body.
And at that moment when her recovery reached a critical point...
All users on all continents were notified of related matters through Alice.
[The power of the World Tree has been restored by 82%.]
[The critical point required to use the power has been reached.]
[Massive update Pangaea. Requirements met.]
[Notification of application of relevant update.]
[Prepare for update shock.]
[10 minutes remaining.]
A notification that came suddenly and without notice.
Users who did not know the exact contents were embarrassed to see the notifications sent to them.
“what's this? Pangea?”
“What the hell is this?”
“The world tree...? What setting is this again?”
“Is it like the main scenario...?”
All users of the 8 continents who were hunting peacefully. With the exception of some of the users, they almost didn't know anything about the related content, so when they were tilting their heads while watching the countdown slowly going down. Only one person muttered with a deep smile.
“Oh... has it already been that time?”
Jae-young, who was unaware of the busy journey to retrieve the stolen dragon bone, was confirmed by a notification that less than 10 minutes were left.
Next to him, Tan and L muttered with strangely nostalgic faces.
“Hey..... I live and live and see the day when the saplings are resurrected. It’s something to live for a really long time to see.”
“That's right... I wouldn't have expected anything like this if it wasn't for some goddamn bat. right?”
“Close that damned ass before it gets fried.”
Even in the midst of this, Tan and L are bickering. Enjoying the reaction of the two, Jaeyoung put on a relaxed smile and enjoyed the moment to the fullest.
And the moment he sits leisurely in a restaurant with a nice view, sipping a drink and watching the timer count down to zero. Numerous messages began to emerge before his eyes.
[Large-scale update Pangea is applied.]
[All continents are integrated as of the current time.]
[Real-time translation system is fully applied.]
[We cheer for the fun of adventurers.]
“What...? Unifying all continents...?”
“Real-time interpretation and translation system...?”
“What is this! What the hell are you talking about!”
At that time, all the users in the village, including Jae-young's restaurant, were shouting loudly with confused faces.
They couldn't keep their mouths shut from the huge roar that suddenly burst out.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
“Kyaaak! what!”
“Aaaaaaa! Earthquake?”
“What kind of earthquake is it in the game?”
“No, what is that? tree....?”
Jae-young was in a village far away from the coast. However, users from all continents, including him, could see it clearly. A huge tree root of an indescribable size that suddenly rose from the middle of the sea with a huge explosion sound and a huge spray of water.
I didn't know exactly what it was, but the branch that clung to an unknown coastal cliff soon lifted the entire continent and started moving quickly.
Ku-goo-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung.
A huge wind that blows across the continent.
“What the hell is this all about!”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
They were taken aback by the wind blowing so fast that no one could control themselves, but they quickly realized.
“Continents.... The whole continent is moving Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan's moving!”
“what's this! What the hell!”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa help me!”
A huge roar echoed across the continent. It shook violently, creating a sense of fear as if the continent was completely collapsing, but strangely, not a single old hut was destroyed and everything remained intact.
Woo woo woo woo.
After a huge roar that seemed like the beginning of heaven and earth rang for a long time.
The continent became quiet after a strangely huge and deep vibration.
“what....?”
“Is it over...?”
In the ears of the users who looked around carefully as if they were frightened with faces full of question marks, a familiar female voice, which they had heard every time they started the game, suddenly heard.
[Welcome to Arcadia, one perfect continent.]
While blowing a comment I had never heard before.
